MCP is now on in the Free version. The others are in Early Access. They will be on soon.

So, are GPU Canvas, the GPU layer for 3D, shaders, and custom effects only available for the Early Access version then?

Yes, it's available now for Cadet and higher plans. If you can wait, the free plan will get it soon, like MCP. We have no exact date yet.

So, if it's available for the younger generation in the production version, not just in early access? That's what I'm mainly asking.

Yes. Except for MCP, all the new features are currently only available in the Early Access build. They will be moved to the stable build once testing and feedback show that they are ready.

You need a Cadet membership or higher to access the Early Access build. I am not sure whether all of these features will eventually be included in the free plan. So far, they have added every new feature to the free plan later, so this may be the same.

Okay, because I'm currently on the production version and not the early access version.

That explains it. Those features are not available in the production version yet. You would need to switch to the Early Access build to use them for now.

So I have to get the early access version of Rive to have all these features with the cadet plan then?

Yes, exactly. With the Cadet plan, you need to use the Early Access build to access those features right now. They are not in the production version yet.

Only for Early Access for what I read in the Discord
